Ed Sheeran Says That Taylor Swift's Squad Isn't Girls-Only

Boys ARE allowed!

There are a few things everyone thinks they know about Taylor Swift’s #squad – that it sums up their friendship goals, and that it’s the all-female power troupe whose members are some of the biggest names in Hollywood. But thanks to an exclusive 24-hour-long interview Billboarddid with Ed Sheeran, we’ve just learned that we’ve been wrong about one part. It’s not just a girls’ club...and Ed knows this because he is a member!

His mega intense interview was a “day in the life” feature — except literally. Through hours of following Ed and other high-profile people in the music industry through meetings, appearances, and photos ops, we found out that he and Taylor are as close as we expected they were. When asked if he were an honorary member of her famous posse, he responded “Of course,” and laughed.

He also did address how odd it is for two best friends to be “the No. 1 and No. 2 biggest-selling artists in the world.” He commented, matter-of-factly: “I don’t think that happens a lot.” (No, we wouldn’t say so either, Ed.) Though being two of the biggest artists around doesn’t stop them from being complete dorks like the rest of us.

We may have gotten one question answered, but now we have so many more: is Taylor’s success juju really contagious? Is Ed is the visionary behind all of those flawless BFF photographs? (Why else is he never in them?) We may ever know – but we’re just thinking out loud.
